Awhile ago I added a few photos to Family Tree. Had a bit if trouble, but with help I finally got it right.

Tried today to add more. Got them uploaded and named, but can't find the spot to link them to Family Tree. The format seems different than it did the last time :-( Can anyone tell me where that link feature is hiding?

Thanks, Cleadie B

If you have already tagged the people in your photos:
1. Click on People
2. you will get a screen--the upper half has tagged people not yet linked in Family Tree; the bottom half are those already linked.
3. click on the circle-photo in the upper half. That takes you to a new screen.
4. click on the small down pointing arrow to the right of the name.
5. That area expands and gives you two choices:
a. edit the name (it is advantageous to have the name exactly the way they have in family tree, including women having their maiden name.)
b. search for the person in Family Tree
6. click the search button.
7. you will get a list of possible matches. If your person appears in the list (it should be at the top unless it is a common name), click the select button.
If the person does not appear in the list, click the "new" button and search by their ID number.

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, I had gotten to what you list as item number 7. I have gone to Family Tree and found the person. From there nothing happens to put the link on the photo. No photo is joined to the person on FT.

I have tried this quite a number of times, with the same results.

However, thanks for the time you have spent to give me such detailed directions.

7. you will get a list of possible matches. If your person appears in the

If the person does not appear in the list, click the "Refine" button and
search by their ID number or personal information.

Once you click on Select, it takes you back to the screen with the name in
large print, followed by the drop-down arrow (looking like a wide letter V)
Click the drop-down arrow and click on Person to see the record, complete
with the linked photos.

The photos I just added are linked to this record L8R3-6WZ They are not
great photos but they are the only ones I have of someone who meant a lot
to me in my childhood.

Well morning came, and my last attempt last nigh must have been done correctly. The photo was linked to my grandfather as it was supposed to be when I opened my program.

Many thanks for those who sent suggestions. Just hope I remember everything the next time I try it,

Cleadie, I will try it with Chrome ...

who was not previously tagged.

Yes, for now only LDS accounts have access to Photos and Stories. At
present the site is not yet ready for the general public. The interface and
procedures can change every few days. (e.g. Last week they changed some of
the steps for linking a photo to the Family Tree, which caused a flood of
confusion and frustration. This resulted in the revised help document I
referred to.) There are bugs that I personally keep running into, but the
engineers are working at solving the problems.

I understand that at present the engineers are giving access to 50
additional LDS accounts per day. When more of the programming problems are
overcome, Photos and Stories will be made available to everyone. I expect
that to take a few weeks, possibly even months. So I am sorry if I raised
people's hopes unrealistically.

If you use an LDS account and have not yet tried Photos and Stories, your
chances of gaining access are better in the morning. If you wait until the
evening you may get the message saying that the site is not accepting any
more accounts for that day. In my experience, once you have been given
access, it will not matter what time of the day you sign in.
